Printing methods

There are two ways printers are set up on IBM i. The first uses Remote Out Queues, the second uses Device Descriptions.

Excellent IBM documentation on how to configure printers: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019492

Remote out queues (RMTOUTQ)

The name is self-explanatory. Instead of "writing" to a local OUTQ on the IBM i, a file can be sent to a printer set up as a remote OUTQ.
